More for my own use (The Young Englishwoman 1875)

[msmcknittington]

The 1875 edition of "The Young Englishwoman" is really exciting because it contains clothing diagrams and couple of neat knitting patterns. One is for a knitted slipper that looks very sweet and practical in the engraving. There are also some very nice fashion plates -- the engraved one under the cut has convinced me that I need to wear silk bows in my hair when I finally get my Natural Form outfit done.

Note: It says there are pattern diagrams, but I haven't found any yet. I know the fold-out patterns aren't there. Ideas? Do you think they mean the images of the individual pieces of clothing?

Um, there's lots more, but I think I let everyone else find it.

I've got to ask this: Knitted under stays, why? That going under your stays? Ouch...unless you use a really small needle...even then, I'd want 'em over.

I love the slipper pattern though. I might try that...
